How to Use the API
The DSM and True Ortho API uses the new Staticmap API. The new Staticmap API has a path prefix of /staticmap/v2/. The v2 designation is to distinguish it from the existing legacy staticmap end point.
The sequence of calling the APIs is important and is as follows:
- Coverage API call
- Read the Survey ID and Transaction Token from the coverage response
Filtering surveys
By adding a filter, you can restrict the surveys that are returned. By retaining the default value of allTypes for the filter parameter, you will retrieve the the most recent survey that contains the requested DSM/ True Ortho imagery as well as Vertical imagery.
Setting this parameter to anyTypes returns the most recent survey with Vertical imagery or the next available survey that has the requested DSM/ True Ortho imagery.
